Protocol for the Swiss COhort of Healthcare Professionals and Informal CAregivers (SCOHPICA): Professional trajectories, intention to stay in or leave the job and well-being of healthcare professionals.

Using innovative methodologies, SCOHPICA will gather nationwide and longitudinal data on HCPs practicing in Switzerland. These data could have numerous implications: promoting the development of research related to HCPs' well-being and retention intentions; supporting the development of policies to improve working conditions and career prospects; contributing to the evolution of training curricula for future or current healthcare professionals; aiding in the development of health systems capable of delivering quality care; and finally, providing the general public and stakeholders with free and open access to the study results through an online dashboard.
